DELMAS JEROME'S EQUAL Mrs. Thaw wa Again In Wltneis Chair Note Written by Mn. Thaw Previous to Shootlna Is Read Teddy Dusy. Bv Associated Press. New York, Feb. 11. All women other than newspaper writers, were barred from the Thaw trial today. This morning nreat crowds of men and women, many of whom were gai ly attired, stormed the portals of the court rcom, but in vain. Their Indignation knew no bounds .when they were refused admittance. Thaw walked to his place without a single friendly nod to greet him. .There were no members pj his fam ily In court. That the defense would proceed with the struggla to have Thaw's will accepted In evidence, as testimony of his unsoundness of mind, was indi cated when Oelmas called J. D. Lyon, a Pittsburg banker, as the first wit ness. Jerome objected to the substitu tion of a new witness for. Mrs. Thaw until her testimony was finished, but after a long argument he withdrew Ills objection. Lyon testified that he held the will In his possession at the bank until the latter part of November, 1906 Mrs. Thaw was then recalled. "It has been testified by this wit ness," said Delmas, after Mrs. Thaw had taken her seat, "that she wrote a note to her husband In the Cafe Martin on the night of the occurrence In Madison Square Garden. This note wr understand to be in possess ion of the learned district attorney. We new ask the learned district at torney to produce that paper." Jerome arose. "We have a piece of paper," he said, "I don't know that It is this note, but I will send for It." The acquiescence of Jerome was a decided change of attitude from last week, when he sat silent when Del mas demanded that the note h. pro duced. During the wait for the messenger, dispatched for the note, Mrs. Thaw underwent the closest scrutiny. She was pale but entirely compos ed and seemed to have been refresh ed by the -rest over Saturday and Sunday. When the note was received and Identified by Mrs. Thaw, Jercme of fered no objection to its Introduction as evidence. The note which was read by Delmas, said: "The b was here a minute ago, but went out again." Mrs. Thaw said the "b " mean "blackguard," and referred to White. .Then Delmas asked: "Did you ever hear Thaw refer to threats made against his life by White?" Je rome objected. It was finally agreed for Mrs. Thaw (to temporarily step aside to permit the introduction of further testimony, tending to show the unsound condition of the defend ant's mind. The Introduction of the will as evi dence was deferred. Washington, Feb. 11. The follow ing statement was given cut at the White Houce today: "The president han communicated with the post of fice department to know whether it Is feasible to bar from the malls pa pers that give full and disgusting particulars of the Thaw case. .Ho does not know whether It' is feasible, but If It Is, he wishes it done."
